Smart Choice, Maximum Value: Black Rhino KSMR Mud Recovery System Model Guide – 200 | 350 | 500 | 1000

2025-12-24

In key applications such as slurry shield tunneling and oil drilling, the suitability of a mud recovery system directly affects operational efficiency, cost control, and site compliance. Many users, when faced with the Kosun KSMR series models—200, 350, 500, and 1000—often struggle with the dilemma of “too big wastes resources, too small isn’t enough.”
In reality, the core differences among these four models lie in their processing capacity and scenario adaptability. By accurately matching the system to the scale of the project—whether slurry shield tunneling or oil drilling—users can quickly identify the optimal solution.

 

    


   
 

As a specialist in slurry treatment equipment for shield tunneling and oil drilling, the Kosun KSMR series has become the preferred choice for many key projects, thanks to its high recovery rate, compact footprint, and low energy consumption.
All four models inherit the brand’s core technologies, achieving ≥90% mud recovery, significantly reducing the consumption of fresh slurry and the costs of environmental treatment. Their multi-stage solid control technology precisely separates particles sized 15–44 microns, quickly restoring slurry lubrication and cuttings-carrying performance to ensure continuous operations.
Lightweight design and compact structure make them highly adaptable to complex site conditions, greatly easing transportation and installation. The main difference among the models lies in the gradient of mud processing capacity, enabling them to suit projects of varying scales, from slurry shield tunneling to oil drilling.

 
The KSMR-200 model is designed for small to medium-scale slurry shield tunneling and oil drilling projects. With a processing capacity of 200 GPM (50 m³/h), it can handle up to 1,200 m³ of slurry per day. The system operates at a total power of just 44 kW, weighs 5,500 kg, and occupies only 5 m³—saving up to 40% of space compared with similar products. Whether for small slurry shield tunneling sections, shallow oil drilling projects, or constrained-site renovations in older oilfields, the KSMR-200 delivers high cost-effectiveness while balancing slurry processing efficiency and energy savings, avoiding the resource waste and site space pressures caused by larger equipment.
 
The KSMR-350 and KSMR-500 models target medium to large-scale slurry shield tunneling and oil drilling projects, with processing capacities of 350 GPM (80 m³/h) and 500 GPM (115 m³/h), respectively. As processing capacity increases, both models are precisely matched in terms of power and size, ensuring continuous slurry treatment for medium- to long-distance shield tunneling and medium-depth oil drilling projects, while maintaining the advantages of a compact design suitable for complex site layouts.
These models are ideal for projects such as medium-sized urban subway shield tunneling sections and conventional onshore oil drilling platforms. They reliably handle sustained high-intensity slurry processing tasks while operating at low energy consumption, effectively balancing construction efficiency and operational costs.
 

The KSMR-1000 is the flagship large-scale model, with a processing capacity of 1,000 GPM (230 m³/h), specifically designed for high-volume slurry handling in large slurry shield tunneling projects and deep or ultra-deep oil drilling operations.
Building on core technologies, this model enhances equipment stability and durability, enabling 24-hour continuous high-efficiency operation. Paired with an intelligent control system, it can precisely adapt to varying geological conditions, significantly reducing manual intervention. For projects with ultra-high slurry throughput requirements—such as large river-crossing shield tunnels or deepwater oil drilling platforms—the KSMR-1000 effectively addresses slurry processing bottlenecks, ensures construction progress and environmental compliance, and enhances overall project efficiency.
 

Choosing the right mud recovery system comes down to tailoring it to your project scale. For small slurry shield tunneling and shallow drilling, the KSMR-200 minimizes costs; for medium to large shield tunneling sections and medium-depth drilling, the KSMR-350 or 500 balances efficiency; and for large tunnels or deep/ultra-deep drilling, the KSMR-1000 ensures maximum capacity.

The full KSMR series offers customizable solutions, precisely configured based on slurry shield tunneling speed, drilling depth, site conditions, and power availability. Whether you are a contractor on small- to medium-scale projects or a purchaser for large oil, gas, or infrastructure projects, the KSMR series provides the right fit—making slurry treatment in shield tunneling and oil drilling more efficient, economical, and hassle-free.
